Article 187Succession to Possession

第百八十七条(占有の承継)

A successor to a possessor may, as the successor chooses, assert either the successor's own possession only, or the successor's own possession together with that of the predecessor.

占有者の承継人は、その選択に従い、自己の占有のみを主張し、又は自己の占有に前の占有者の占有を併せて主張することができる。

If a person asserts the possession of the predecessor together with the person's own, that person also succeeds to defects in those.

前の占有者の占有を併せて主張する場合には、その瑕疵をも承継する。
